Read on to learn more about Cloud 9′s year-round staff.

Mark Brown Managing Partner

The man with the plan, Mark is in charge of day-to-day business. He steers the proverbial ship, carries the vision, and makes it all happen. Originally from Richmond, VA he got into the music business after graduating from University of Maryland and opening his first venue. Producing outdoor festivals came shortly thereafter leading to the birth of Langerado Music Festival. Always inspired to dream big, he imagined creating music themed vacations with all of the amenities anyone could want and made that dream a reality by forming Cloud 9 Adventures in 2003.

Josh Moore Partner/Talent Buyer

Our talent buyer and founding partner, Josh works with a diverse list of highly respected artists, agents and managers at his day job with The Bowery Presents. He got his start in the industry running his own concert promotion company in Athens, GA for 7 years before moving to NYC to help open the Nokia Theater Times Square with AEG Live. His easy going work style and deep connections in the industry position Cloud 9 to book some of the best bands in the world.

Roger Naber Partner

A blues music industry professional for more than 30 years, Roger is a music cruise pioneer. He started producing The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise in 1992 and now does cruises 2 each year. Organizing the overwhelming logistics of a music event on a cruise ship has become almost second nature to this industry veteran and collaborating with him since the beginning has been invaluable.

Kelly Viau Business Development/Project Management

Kelly’s open-mind and love for music & culture inspires her to keep on the look out for the next Cloud 9 Adventure. Having lived in all regions of the country and traveled extensively around the world, this graduate of Arizona State and Positive Legacy board member uses her voice to impact others with music and community as catalysts. Kelly is a well-rounded creative thinker with a keen business sense and is the all-around go to girl behind the scenes at Cloud 9.

Annabel Lukins Director of Artist Relations

Cloud 9’s 5-foot wonder, Annabel's infectious enthusiasm charms artists and fans alike. She's the face that everyone knows at our events & shows around the country. An industry veteran since 97, her roots were in NYC but she settled in Boulder to nurture her true passion: festivals. She played key roles at Telluride Bluegrass, Langerado, Lollapalooza & Bonnaroo where she continues to book/manage/emcee the Sonic Stage. She's been a bright light for us since day 1!

Jon Sweetwood Designer/Web Developer

Jon learned the music business from the inside out. Having spent his twenties touring the country in a rock band, he learned the importance of creating a compelling atmosphere around concert events to keep the fan base engaged and informed. Trading in a guitar for a laptop, he continues to apply these core principles in branding strategies, web development, print collateral, merchandise, and all things in between for Cloud 9.

Paul Steinmetz Director of Sales & Travel

An accomplished travel journalist (former editor-in-chief of Capture Life Magazine) and event director, Paul brings extensive sales and marketing experience to the Cloud 9 travel department. A florida native and graduate of Florida State University, Paul’s versatility and enthusiasm for live music coupled with his passion for world travel makes him an integral part of the team.

Peyton Moore Asst. Director of Sales & Travel

After graduating from Appalachian State University, Peyton moved to New York where she began her career in the music industry focusing on strategic marketing, business & finance. A self-proclaimed "problem ninja" and Southern delight, Peyton's long time love affair with rock 'n' roll gives her much compassion for the fans. Quick to rise to any occasion, Peyton always has a smile on her face and is dedicated to making everyday at Cloud 9 an adventure!

Michele Russo Director of Customer Relations

Michele landed at Cloud 9 after several years of work and play in the Colorado mountains & music scene. Years of on-site music festival experience working in a variety of departments led Michele to be the seasoned veteran that she is today. Her connection with the fans and her dedication to live music makes her a key part of the Cloud 9 Travel team.

Adam Goldberg Travel Coordinator & Video Consultant

Adam is the newest & youngest member of the Cloud 9 team. Hailing from the Springsteen state and educated in FL, he was raised by a self admitted "prisoner of rock & roll" who exposed him to all musical genres. Having traveled across Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and the US, he's always ready for the next adventure. When he's not helping guests sort out their travel plans at Cloud 9 he lends his technical skills to creating video content and other cutting edge digital projects.
